What are Stellest lenses, and how do they work?

They're here!!!  They're here!!


At Wink Optical, we're committed to protecting your child's vision - not just for today, but for their future.  That's why we are thrilled to introduce Stellest lenses - the first (and currently only) FDA market-authorized spectacle lens in the country to slow the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) in children.  How do these lenses work? The Stellest lens uses HALT technology (Highly Aspheric Lenslet Target).  This technology uses a pattern of 1,021 lenslets to generate a volume of light in front of the retina, helping slow the progression of myopia.  Clinical data show that the Stellest lens slows down myopia progression by 71% on average over two years. 


This is a game-changer for myopia management. While we also offer FDA-approved MiSight soft contact lenses and off-label methods, such as Atropine eye drops and overnight lenses (orthokeratology), to help slow the progression of myopia, it is great to have another option for children who may be candidates.


Schedule a consultation with our doctors to determine whether the Stellest lens (or another myopia management method) is suitable for your child.  Together, let's protect their vision for the years ahead.

Patients Say

My family and I have had excellent care at Wink. The doctors and staff are warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. The glasses selection ranges from classic to quirky, and the contacts I ordered were a great fit. I especially appreciate how sweet & kid-friendly they are for my child’s eye care! 10/10 ❤️

Doctor Beute and her staff always do a really thorough and thoughtful job on our eye exams and is really good at suggesting the best lenses & contacts for our different vision problems. Highly recommend her and the Wink Team for eye care.

Dr. Beute, was amazing! She was so thorough in her eye exam and answered all my questions. She really embodies the warmth and kindness a healthcare provider should have and I really appreciated that.

Dr Stacy Beute is as thorough as she is kind. We have a family history of glaucoma and other eye issues and she took her time during everyone’s examinations. The staff up front are so accommodating and welcoming as well. I cannot recommend Wink Optical enough.
